Believe it or not, these foods contain trans fat

Original Premium SaltinesInteresting list over at ACalorieCounter.com: 10 Surprising Foods That Contain Trans Fat.

Now, he admits that a couple of foods on the list aren't that surprising (such as Ritz Crackers or cookies), but he explains that many foods that are advertised as "0 trans fats" actually contain some trans fats, the amount is just low enough to be able for them to say it's "0." And the amount goes up more if a person has more than the one serving size that labels have the amounts for (and we all know we all eat more than one serving).

I didn't think plain Saltines had trans fat, but there you go.

I plan to ignore the tiny amount of trans-fat in them, though ;)

P.S. Has anyone ever heard of a savory meal bar? I have to eat lunch fast and that's why I buy the Special K bars but I'm so sick of sweet stuff. Same goes for Luna and Cliff bars. Is there such a thing as a non-chocolate/fruity/yogurty meal or snack bar? If so it probably has trans fats and there's no hope for me.

Just hope it's not the partially hydrogenated man made kind.
